The Shofar Award

The Shofar Award of the National Jewish Committee on Scouting

The Award

The National Jewish Committee on Scouting established the Shofar Award to recognize outstanding service by adults in the promotion of Scouting among Jewish youth. Just as the Shofar (Ram's Horn) calls people to the service of God, so the Shofar Award is a recognition of the individual who has answered the call to serve Jewish youth in Scouting. Self and spouse nominations will not be accepted.

Eligibility Guidelines

A Shofar recipient should:

Promote the use of Scouting in synagogues, Jewish Community Centers, and other Jewish institutions.
